What to do if the READY light is flashing on my Magnum Dimensions ME-AGS-S Controller?

  Dominique OsborneAug 3, 2025
  If the READY light is flashing, it means the remote control switch is either not sensed or not plugged into the REMOTE port. First, check the communication cable connection to both the remote and the controller. If that doesn't work, try using a different 6-conductor telephone cable. After these steps, switch the controller OFF and then ENABLE to reset.

How to fix a red STATUS light (Gen Fault) on a Magnum Dimensions Controller?

  James RodriguezAug 13, 2025
  If the STATUS light is ON and red, indicating a Gen Fault, verify the generator to AGS start wiring and the B+ wiring from the generator to the AGS. Measure the DC voltage from Terminal 2 (+) to Terminal 4 (–); it should be 10-40 volts only when the generator is running. Finally, switch the controller OFF, then ENABLE it to reset.

Why is the READY light OFF on my Magnum Dimensions ME-AGS-S?
- Z
  Zachary DeanAug 23, 2025
  If the READY light is OFF, it indicates that there is no power to the AGS. This can be due to incorrect DC voltage to Terminals 3 (+) & 4 (–). To resolve this, check the battery voltage, the fuse, and the DC wiring.
